If no, then I wouldn't say anything. If yes, then I would either keep very close to them in case they say something like that again, or head it off with, "I know while you're here you will be kind and polite to everyone in the house." or something like that. If it happens again at your house, then I would definitely tell their parents. Will these kids come over to your house in the future? If no, then I wouldn’t say anything.

I guess I'd not say anything if it were me. If it were just this incident. If I noticed the same kids doing the same thing a lot, I'd consider saying something at that point.

That said, my nieces and nephews call the youngest "evil baby." My sisters reprimand them everytime, but it's just a game for them (run away and hide from evil baby). ~lmc Haven’t read the comments, but maybe just use a modified version of what you said here “I’m not necessarily worried about the incident itself and so let it go initially, but, after some thought realized that as a parent I would want to know that my kids said this-so I am sharing.”

But if the parent that heard is willing, I would get them to say something. Always better to have the person actually involved to say something.
